Hayes Family Wines - Barossa Valley

Classically styled wines highlighting the bestof the Barossa Valley.

About Us

Hayes Family Wines is a small family-owned wine producer nestled amongst our organically farmed vineyards in Stone Well on the Western Ridge of the Barossa Valley. Hayes Family Wines brings together traditional values, superbly sited historical vineyards and a passion for Barossa Valley wines. From our old vineyards in Stone Well and the Barossa’s Northern reaches of Ebenezer and Koonunga we look to fashion wines that convey the unique attributes of our special sites from the traditional Barossa varieties of Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and Semillon.

Vineyards

Our vineyards span the western and northern reaches of the Barossa Valley. We do a lot of work by hand, we work hard so we need to add less. Our Estate vineyards are farmed with minimal intervention, we operate organically and are currently in conversion to organic – so no pesticides and no herbicides. Our vineyard blocks are typically dry grown with some blocks supported by drip irrigation. All blocks are hand pruned, hand picked and managed with extreme care and attention to detail.

Our Wines

We are a true boutique producer. We seek the best possible fruit, fruit that has a balance of acid, tannin and potential alcohol and we seek to showcase the fruit flavour and structure of the traditional Barossa Valley varietals of Shiraz, Mataro, Grenache and Semillon. Our winemaking takes a low intervention approach with minimal additions, we do not apply fining agents that are animal derived and hence our wines are vegan. Our Estate Wines are farmed organically and are current undergoing organic certification. We are committed to producing the best wines that the season allows from some of the best possible terroirs the region has to offer.
